You have a scripted field which doesn't handle null values well. Somewhere you call getTime() on a null object. You should doublecheck your scripted field scripts.

def currentUser = authenticationContext.currentUser

Is this Jira? In this case I think the first part should be

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor 
def currentUser = ComponentAccessor.jiraAuthenticationContext.loggedInUser

What is mergeRequest?

Every reference to a function or member could be "secured" against null pointer exceptions by adding a question mark (?) before the dot (.)

So, the last line could be written

mergeRequest?.pullRequest?.toRef?.displayId?.matches("feature/dev8092") &&
! (currentUser?.username in allowedUserNames)

but in this case you would not know which object doesn't exist. If you want to know where the error comes from you could check every object.

if (mergeRequest) {

    if (mergeRequest.pullRequest) {

        // and so on...

    } else {

        log.error "pullRequest is NULL"

    }

} else {

    log.error "mergeRequest is NULL."

}
